[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3107561, member: 24531"] - Kuwait produces a lot of terrorists and they were stealing Saddam's oil. Saddam wasn't a muslim fundamentalists, Kuwait is/was. Saddam allowed more "western values" than Kuwait. - Saddam & the Taliban really had nothing in common and radical muslims in Iraq hated him. Lumping them in together is just a tactic like when the Bush administration tried to link Saddam to 9/11. I supported the Afghan war so that's not really an issue in this discussion. - Gassing your own people was used to justify the Iraq wars and now they are trying to use the same excuse - Bombing a secular gov't who allows more western values and is at war with radical Islam is essentially being Al Queda's air force.
